The BBC has given Lily Allen her own TV show, and plans to make the singer one of the corporation’s key personalities.

The 22-year-old Londoner will appear on BBC Three next spring, presenting a programme blending chat, music and celebrity interviews.

With the working title Lily Allen And Friends, the show will be based on the social networking phenomenon sweeping the world. Paying homage to internet sites like MySpace and Facebook, viewers will be invited to become Allen’s virtual friends and will then be able to contribute to the show’s discussions and put questions to the singer’s guests.
